Resources for Employees

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces Federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. These laws protect you against employment discrimination when it involves:

- Unfair treatment because of your race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. - Harassment by managers, co-workers, or others in your workplace, because of your race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. - Denial of a reasonable workplace accommodation that you need because of your religious beliefs or disability. - Retaliation because you complained about job discrimination, or assisted with a job discrimination investigation or lawsuit.

The EEOC provides a number of resources for employees and job applicants on their website including information on coverage, timeliness, and filing a charge. Click here for information.
